Grand jury declines to indict Ohio man charged with destroying Flock camera
Apparently "grand juries declining an indictment is extremely rare... The grand jury only hears from the prosecution, there is no defense involved. Only a majority of the grand jury has to sign off, not unanimous like in an actual trial."

Yeah, grand juries usually rubber stamp whatever the prosecutor wants to do. It's nice to come across one of those rare instances they actually do what they were created for.
It used to be that you could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but in Trump's America, they won't even indict the guy who threw the sandwich. People looking out for people, the way a community should be.
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.
